A new update is rolling out for the Nintendo Switch Parental app. Version 1.50 is currently live on iOS. It doesn’t seem to be live just yet on Android as of this moment, but it should be very soon.
Today’s update adds a few new features. For instance, whitelist functionality allows users to exclude games from the Parental Controls Restricted Software setting on Switch.
The full patch notes are as follows:
Awesome Games Studio released its new game I, Zombie on Switch this week. Take a look at the launch trailer below.
A trio of new rewards can be redeemed over on My Nintendo over on North America.
First, a Kirby Star Allies wallpaper is up for 50 Platinum Points. Super Mario 3D Land and Paper Mario: Sticker Star Prima guides are also on the site. These can be redeemed for 20 Gold Points each.
You can find these rewards on My Nintendo here.
Dragon Quest Builders for Switch is one of the few entries in the franchise released in the west ahead of Japan. The Japanese release just took place on March 1.
For the week of February 26, we heard that Dragon Quest Builders sold just under 30,000 copies. Dengeki further reports that it sold through about 55% of its initial shipment in Japan.
The debut Japanese sales of Dragon Quest Builders for Switch aren’t really comparable to the initial PlayStation debut, but it’d be a bit silly to compare them in the first place. This is a somewhat late port at the end of the day, and we also can’t forget that Dragon Quest Builders 2 will be available sometime this year. Long term sales are also possible.
The first Guns, Gore & Cannoli came to Switch towards the end of 2017. Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 will also be on the system, Crazy Monkey Studios has confirmed.
Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 just hit Steam this month. Following that, Crazy Monkey Studios intends to shift its attention to consoles, including the Switch version.
We have more information and a new trailer for Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 below.
Everspace, an action space shooter that also features roguelike elements, will be released on Switch. Rockfish CEO and co-founder Michael Schade confirmed the news in an interview with Wccftech.
Speaking about the company’s plans for Switch, Schade said:
Last month, we heard that Nintendo and Bloomingdale’s would be starting a new “Let’s Play” campaign. Exclusive merchandise, in-store events, and activations were planned as part of the promotion.
In case you’re curious, the campaign is now up and running. Select Bloomingdale’s outlets have special displays, merchandise, and more.

Mad Mimic uploaded the next entries in its new developer diary series for No Heroes Here. This time around, the programmers talk about creating a prototype, turning it on the final product, and how it is to program an online game as well as the importance of playtests for game balance. Check out the dev diaries below.
Riot: Civil Unrest will be released on Switch, a listing on GameFly reveals. The retailer has it down for June 19, though that date is not confirmed.
Riot: Civil Unrest was funded way back in 2014 via Indiegogo with development ongoing since then. Director Leonard Menchiari has experienced riots first-hand following economical crisis, and wanted to share what he went through in the form of a game. You’ll be able to play as either the police or the rioters as you partake “in some of the world’s most fractious disputes.”
